Christine Haapala (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2002

Revised Second Edition- You will love to use this prayer book often!!

This prayer book is the most thorough and extensive collection of Scriptural Rosaries you will find anywhere. This prayer book goes well beyond the traditional Scriptural Rosary and penetrates the heart of the meditative spirit of the mysteries. It addresses many dimensions: time, from the Old to the New Testament; authors, from Moses, Isaiah, to the Evangelists; and perspectives, from purely historical to deeper spiritual and prayerful insights.

Those who pray the Rosary and those who read the Bible will equally find this prayer book inspirational.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This book contains seven Scriptural Rosaries based on thematic collections of books of the Bible: the collections are the Pentateuch, Old Testament Writings featuring Daniel, Old Testament Prophets highlighting Isaiah, the 150 Psalms in numerical correspondence with the 150 Hail Marys, the quoted Blessed Words of Jesus and Mary, the Mother of God, Epistles of Sts Peter and Paul, and St John's Gospel and Revelation. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

About the Author

Nearly a decade ago, after teaching a tenth grade CCD class which integrated the fifteen mysteries of the Rosary into the Bible Study course curriculum, Christine Haapala, the author, thought "What if there is a connection between the 150 Psalms and 150 Hail Marys of the Rosary?" In the Catechism of the Catholic Church this connection is explained as "Medieval piety in the West developed the prayer of the rosary as a popular substitute for the Liturgy of the Hours." (CCC 2678) Based on this inspiration, the author completed and, then, published her first book From Genesis to Revelation: Seven Scriptural Rosaries. Her more recent Scriptural Rosary books are Speak, Lord, I am Listening (for Children, but adults love it as well) and The Suffering Servant's Courage (based on the virtue of Fortitude and Courage).

Her most recent book, His Sorrowful Passion, is a departure from her works of Scriptural Rosaries but she continues in the genre of using Sacred Scriptures verses to support meditation during prayer - in this case, the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

This review is from: From Genesis to Revelation: Seven Scriptural Rosaries (Paperback)

I have used this book almost daily for the last six months and have never tired of it.The verses chosen by the author are unique and causes one to view old truths in ever new ways while remaining faithful to the doctrines of the Roman Church.I highly recommend this book to anyone with a desire to see how integrated the story of salvation is throughout the entire Bible, to those who want a fresh way to pray an old prayer, and to those who are new to the art of Rosary Meditation. No one who uses this inspired volume will be disappointed. Have several on hand to share with others; you will be blessed and they will thank God for you in thier prayers!

This book is the best scriptural rosary book out there. The work that this author did to put this book together is incredible. No other book comes close. Also the illustrations are spectacular. I give this book 10 out of 10.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deepening the rosary prayer, February 1, 2009

This review is from: From Genesis to Revelation Seven Scriptural Rosaries (Paperback)

I'm one of those who has always had difficulty praying the rosary. When I read all the papal encyclicals on the riches to be found in this seemingly simple prayer I vowed again and again to try. But my efforts would soon peter out because I could not figure out what to do with my mind while praying. Comes along this wonderful book and I think I have found my solution. What happens now is a sort of symphony: I'm saying the words of the vocal prayers, my spirit is with Mary before the throne of the Trinity, my mind is occupied with the words of scripture I've read just before starting the Hail Mary or Our Father I'm praying. This symphony is perfect for me. And, as another reviewer pointed out, because there are seven joyful, sorrowful, and glorious scripture sets, I never get tired. As for the Luminous Mysteries: I'm saying them on Sunday with another of the author's books: The Suffering Servant's Courage. But for all the other mysteries this book is the best.
